Discourse on gender phenomena has always been an interesting topic. Various social studies are used to respond to gender phenomena and realities in society. The women's movement is expected to create a new awareness of gender equality that can lead to just social relationships. This article is based on research results that reveal the process of social cohesion among women's activist groups in Surabaya, especially on the issues raised in building an identity in a collective movement. According to Durkheim, collective identity is an important factor in developing the function of social integration. It can be seen from the collective activities that develop in groups. To understand the collective activities of the women's movement, it is important to know the main issues that they make reference to on the move.

Single mothers face problems not only because of their own status so they have to struggle hard to meet their needs, but also because of patriarchal social construction that presents many challenges to women. This qualitative research is aimed at revealing: the form of glass-ceiling for single mother and their   strategies taken to deal with that. This research was conducted in Sidoarjo on five single mothers. Data were collected using in-depth interviews. The theory used is symbolic interaction because it allows researchers to identify research subjects. The results of this study reveal that the glass-ceiling faced by women are domestic responsibilities, sosial control, and underestimation of women. Strategies for dealing with it are sharing work and ignorant of negative responses. The response to the glass-ceiling depends very much on the way of thinking (mind) of women in seeing themselves. When women put themselves away as objects (me) that are powerless against the values that apply, then the choice of action to face the challenges of their lives (glass-ceiling) tends to be compromising and accommodating, whereas if the means adopted are based more on how to see themselves as subjects (I), then the method adopted tends to be uncompromising.
